Cream Cheese Frosting

By junerodgers

This is a wonderfully creamy frosting that goes well with pumpkin bread, carrot cake, chocolate cake, on cookies, or between cookies. If you want chocolate frosting, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup cocoa, according to how rich you want it.

Ingredients

• 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar (or more if you want it sweeter)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and butter until creamy. Mix in the vanilla, then gradually stir in the confectioners' sugar. Store in the refrigerator after use.
